Cortx is built on documented, interoperable data standards. Your knowledge is structured, portable, and governed by specification — not locked into a proprietary format.
A structured markdown format with YAML front matter, AI guidance blocks, and eleven defined sections. CTX files are the primary unit of knowledge governance in Cortx.
Institutional expertise packaged for AI consumption — methodologies, frameworks, policies, reference data. Each CTX file carries metadata, permission rules, and version history.
Eleven-section structure. Five content types (Skill, Method, Policy, Reference, Package). Optional Section 11 object specification for extraction. Human-readable and machine-consumable. Deployed directly to AI tools via MCP.
JSON-only structured knowledge records used by Cognitive Twins and retrieval systems. KRX records are the atomic units of knowledge that power conversational interfaces.
Individual knowledge facts, observations, and relationships extracted from CTX files and ingested content. Each KRX record carries provenance metadata, timestamps, and source traceability.
JSON-only — no binary, no images. Semantic embedding for vector search. Provenance chain tracing every record back to its source CTX file or ingestion event. Designed for high-performance retrieval at scale.
A structured data standard for commercial relationship data, co-developed with BSI Group. iCML v4.0 is the current specification.
Commercial obligations, controls, clauses, and relationship data extracted from complex documents. iCML objects are carried as payloads within KRX records, connecting commercial intelligence to the broader knowledge infrastructure.
Co-developed with BSI Group — a national standards body, not a startup. Purpose-built for commercial relationship data. Covers contracts, obligations, regulatory controls, and supplier ecosystems. Audit-grade provenance on every extracted element.
Your knowledge is structured in documented formats, not locked into proprietary systems. If you ever leave Cortx, your data leaves with you.
CTX files deploy to any MCP-compatible system. KRX records integrate with any vector search infrastructure. iCML connects to any commercial data platform.
Every record carries provenance metadata. Every change is versioned. Every source is traceable. Essential for regulated industries.
Open, documented formats outlast any single product. Your institutional knowledge investment is protected regardless of what happens to any vendor.
